I have windows XP PC in domain enviornment and I want to disable file
encryption and compression in windows XPSP3 using either local policy or
group policy or making changes.
I tried creating reg dword key with DisableEncryptionkey=1 and
disablecompressionkey=1 in hkey local machine\system\current
controlset\control\filesystem but found no luck.

Pl guide how to do it.
